Notes: Another day spent paddling on the outside. Despite the later than normal start I wanted to get as far as the cape before tomorrow.
After a restful day with friends yesterday I was feeling great on the water today and managed to take advantage of a good tail wind and log some great mileage. After reviewing the maps over breakfast with Rick, Susan and the kids I decided that a worthy goal for the day would be Cape Romain.

Before I rode in to work with Susan we grabbed a few photos of the kids. As it always seems to be when photographing kids we never did manage to get everyone right in one photo.

Despite a later than normal start from the dock at Susan’s office I had a great day with following winds which drove me all the way to my destination. The only drawback to that spot was that I’m not sure camping is allowed. It seems as though many of the good camp-able islands on the coast in this region are wildlife sanctuaries that don’t always allow camping. A fresh set of ATV tire tracks in the sand near my camp made me a bit nervous but also indicated that any would be patroller had already passed and may be done for the night.

Either way it was a great day of paddling after an awesome visit with good old friends.
